Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a blue-eyed pretty girl;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Well, I spent some time in the Ponytail League, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the first team players struck out.
So Say Hey Mickey, tell DeDe and Wendy Barrentine;
Don't say "It ain't so", you know the time is now.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Second base.

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a Easton bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
(Pop!) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, (yeah!) I can be the Shortstop.
